2018 Arnot-Roberts Watson Ranch Chardonnay Napa Valley
Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts focus their efforts on small lot, single vineyard wines that are both incredibly good and incredibly difficult to find. We are over the moon that we can offer this Chardonnay to you, in all of its jasmine, lemon, and pastry-tinged glory. Look for even more richness to develop in the next few years.

Sourced from the southernmost vineyard in Napa County, often tapped as a source for sparkling wines, Arnot-Roberts’ bottling of Watson Ranch Chardonnay was fermented in stainless steel and aged in neutral French oak for 10 months. The nose is clean and focused, showing jasmine, lemon meringue and freshly baked pastries that lead to a taught, structured palate. Hold this wine for the next couple of years for a touch more richness to come to the fore.
